Executive Assistant - 6 Month FTC

Executive Assistant — Supporting Two Senior Directors — 6-Month Temporary Contract — Wexford

We're hiring on behalf of a well-established organisation in Co. Wexford with an immediate need for an experienced Executive Assistant. This is a temporary role supporting two Senior Directors directly — a defined remit, a busy leadership team and real responsibility from day one, with the possibility of extension beyond the initial six months.

The role: You'll work side by side with two Senior Directors, protecting their time and making sure they are prepared, informed and a step ahead. Complex diaries one minute, a leadership meeting pack the next. Where capacity allows, you'll also support the wider leadership team with major travel bookings and event coordination. The work is fast-paced, varied and highly visible, and it suits an experienced EA who anticipates what's needed rather than waiting to be asked.

What you'll actually be doing:

Managing complex diaries, meeting schedules and competing priorities for two Senior Directors — protecting their time and keeping them a step ahead

Preparing presentations, reports and meeting materials and coordinating executive communications — so both Directors are organised, informed and decision-ready

✈️ Coordinating travel and itineraries, including major travel bookings and event support for the wider leadership team where capacity allows

Acting as the main point of contact between the Directors, internal teams, customers and external stakeholders — with professional, timely follow-up on every action

Planning and running leadership meetings, business reviews and events — agendas, logistics, documentation and action tracking from start to finish

Handling confidential and commercially sensitive information with complete discretion — this is trusted, close-to-the-top work

What we need:

✅ Proven experience as an Executive Assistant supporting senior leadership — this role needs someone who can step in and operate with minimal ramp-up

✅ Comfortable supporting more than one senior stakeholder at a time, managing complex schedules and competing deadlines without losing accuracy or attention to detail

✅ Strong experience coordinating travel, itineraries and leadership events end to end

✅ Excellent written and verbal communication skills — you'll be dealing with Directors, customers and stakeholders at every level and it needs to be polished

✅ A high level of discretion, integrity and professionalism — you'll be trusted with confidential and commercially sensitive information daily

✅ High proficiency in Microsoft 365, particularly Outlook, Teams, PowerPoint, Word and Excel

The reality of the role: This is a hands-on temporary assignment supporting two Directors who are under real pressure and who will rely heavily on the person in this seat. The pace is quick, the standards are high and the impact is visible right across the business. If you're an experienced EA who takes pride in being the most organised person in the room and wants a well-defined six-month contract with a credible employer in the South East — this is worth a conversation.
